Beetlejuice (1988)

  A young couple dies in a ridiculous accident and return to their home as ghost. They find out that their house is sold to a new family and they do everything they can to get rid of them. In the end, they call for the help of a "bio-exorcist" but they forgot to think about the consequences...
  The second actual film of Tim Burton is an entertaining horror/black comedy with tons of enthusiastic innuendos about the after life and what follows. Burton presents his own humorous version of after-life matters and compares the organizing of the issues of the dead with those of a public service. Some interesting stop-motion techniques were used here and so, the film gets a more comic-y side to it. If your sense of humor isn't dark and twisted you may not enjoy this as much. In any other case, dig in!
  Michael Keaton of course steals the show as the demonic possession-er that aims to help the dead spook the living. Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin are actually entertaining as the newly-dead goofy couple who just don't seem to adapt to the dead lifestyle so good. Winona Ryder is a classic addition since this is a Burton and Glenn Shadix, Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones drop in to give their little weird piece of black comedy!
Must watch this : on a random rainy November weekday when you are exhausted from work. Order some cheap Chinese food and enjoy this one half asleep half unconscious!

Akira (1988)

  2019. Neo-Tokyo. A biker gang consisting of high school students frequently clashes with another gang, creating violence and anarchy. Gang member Tetsuo will soon find out about his psychic powers and a governmental operation looking out to kill him. Tetsuo soon reaches the maximum of his potential and confronts his gang's leader, Kaneda, while Neo-Tokyo is being demolished.
  Written by Katsuhiro Otomo and Izō Hashimoto and directed by Otomo, this anime film is considered to be a breakpoint in anime and manga culture. Combining cyberpunk elements with sci-fi ideas in a classic manga style, Akira is a considered a reference in all anime creations after it. Not being a manga fan myself I have to agree that this is a trully good anime film. It can really put you in the mood of the manga genre even if you are a noob for it.
  Excellent old-school manga work done here! I don't find modern manga style attractive at all, but in this film the writers and sketchers really provide a high-end piece. The film is elevated to another level with its story, providing enough food for thought to last for days. High quality animation and character development, this film is a must-see.
Must watch this : in original Japanese audio for originality, on a chill November evening with noodle soup and some cranberry juice.

They Live (1988)

  In the not-so-far future, a drifter finds a unique pair of sunglasses that allow him to see people how they truly are. Soon, he realizes that aliens have taken over the Earth, controlling the media, the bank system, politics and everything in general. Only a few people on Earth are still human. He soon finds out that he may have to do more than he thought for his planet!
  Classic John Carpenter here. But in a more rebellious, wake-up-and-fuck-everything style. The story may sound childish (sunglasses) but it delivers the messages just in the way the director wishes to. The set and time of the movie is not so futuristic so it will not seem weird to many people.
  Roddy Piper and Keith David play the classic macho duo that is something of an anti-hero team but eventually saves the world that 80's films taught us how to love! The duo's punchlines are beyond bad-ass in most cases (watch out for the punchline in the scene at the bank) and they generally don't give much shit about anything.They are just here to kick ass!
Must watch this : after listening to Ixpapalotl's "Saave Lonam Estimitie" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gvHayVNnc4 and with the must-have pizzas and frozen beers.Of course you need your jackass guys' company!
